Today in Rhein-Main: Today in Rhein

Good evening,

from Frankfurt goes like this: Politicians have been looking for a new location for the European School for years and finally found one, namely the fairground where the Dippemess' (originally only with an apostrophe!) is usually held and where a circus sometimes makes guest appearances.

Politicians all very happy.

They say that the Dippemess' and Roncalli should simply switch to the Rebstock area, it's nice there too.

Fanfare, applause, everyone pats each other on the back for this ingenious solution.

Then the trade fair company spoke up and said that they actually need this site themselves 229 days a year - for the trucks that come to set up and dismantle the various trade fairs, there is not much space for anything else.

No fanfare, no applause in Romans, actually no reaction at all.

This is how well-thought-out politics is in Germany's fifth-largest city.

Long break.

Now!

But now the Greens have written that a “viable concept” for the future of Dippemess is needed before planning any further.

So what!

There is still hope.

Whereby:

While the Greens were still working on their press release about the fairground on Wednesday and were looking for words to also accommodate their concerns about neighboring and endangered allotment gardeners, the competition was already one step ahead.

Not the Greens, but the CDU candidate for the office of mayor, Uwe Becker, quickly joined the call of several Frankfurt scientists for more biodiversity in the world, which was only announced on Tuesday.

For Becker, Frankfurt “as the most important economic center in Germany itself is faced with the question of how we want to deal with our own biodiversity footprint in the long term”.

Well, the Greens, who just made it to Dippemess' lobbyists on Wednesday, can see

Not a word from the Frankfurt SPD

on Wednesday.

Neither to Dippemess' nor to biodiversity.

Not from the FDP either, you're probably still busy trying to persuade someone to please, please go into the race for the mayor's office.

Although:

Peter Feldmann is still in the SPD, so let's take him for the party, they're happy about that.

At yesterday's trial, Peter Feldmann was 39 minutes late and blamed it on Lufthansa, but it was particularly interesting to learn that there was an email in which his wife asked the Arbeiterwohlfahrt to send her employment contract to Peter.

That only to the question of whether the former mayor knew what his wife earned.

He denies that.

And

there are also 50,000 job vacancies reported to the employment agencies in Hesse +++ the works council of the Binding brewery still hopes that the city will save the business +++ the regional cultural editors portray the painter Monika Romstein.

I wish you a pleasant evening

Yours, Manfred Koehler
